Get your rice ready ladies, wedding season is upon us! The first thing that comes to mind when opening an invitation — "What am I going to wear? Once I find the answer, will I wear the dress again?" Probably not. But I have found our savior, girls! DesignerShare is the answer to our wedding season prayers and it’s better than you expected. Below, I’ve listed seven dress options to wear as a wedding-guest that are both chic and practical.

“I like my money right where I can see it: Hanging in my closet.”

Luckily for you, DesignerShare has an ever-evolving closet full of amazing finds for you to rent at the click of a button.
We realize that with so many options to choose from, picking just the right pieces can be overwhelming. So, we’re here to give you a little inspiration taken from the fashion icon herself: the one and only, Carrie Bradshaw.
Stepping into the streets of New York City in the opening of Sex in the City is Bradshaw in her iconic white tulle skirt. Now we don’t know about you, but we must admit we’ve pictured ourselves weaving in and out of NYC traffic as Bradshaw did, twirling in a very similar skirt.

Happy Monday, DS Darlings! In honor of Earth Day (which was yesterday), today’s post tackles a more serious issue: the intersection of sustainability and fashion.
It should come as no surprise to anyone who reads Vogue, Elle, or any mainstream news outlet that we are in the middle of an environmental crisis. There are literally islands of garbage floating in the Pacific ocean. Terrifying, right? You probably also know that fast fashion chains like Forever21, ZARA, and Old Navy greatly contribute to the tremendous amount of waste that has accumulated worldwide. However, we believe that everyone deserves to look and feel their best and dress how they like. Fast fashion provides accessibility to lower income people so they can also look their best.

Why do you love renting out your items?
I was at first a bit terrified. Fashion is my “thing”…and my pieces are like my treasured pieces of art! But once I popped that first rental cherry, I realized I was in good hands. I have rented out several of my most beloved bags, and have had zero problems!
What is your favorite part about DesignerShare?
Putting my fashion addiction to good use! It’s also a genius system for experiencing a great piece for a fraction of the cost. In the world of social media it can be way to easy to wear a great dress only once!
How would you describe your overall style?
I love my ruffles with a side of rock n roll. I adore feminine details like puffy sleeves and full skirts. I adore leather pants and bomber jackets. Boho chic has also been a favorite too. I love it all…hence the “shopaholic”...
